Hey this looks super nice and competently done. Wouldn't have ever thought someone touches MM7. But to quote your co commentator, where is my horseshit?

Yessss I'm glad to see EP get tackled, this hack is wild. I've seen an LP of it before, but it trivialized a lot of the game with one of the weapons, so it's nice to see a more... authentic, I guess? look at it.

 Part 21: K. Rool Duel DKC2 K. Rool is a boss that I am both A) very bad at and B) not very fond of to begin with. Unveiled is a hack that has done nothing but make the bosses significantly worse, and gave us a 50-up at the end of the final level. You do the math.

It is kind of impressive how this hack can build good faith with very creative levels, and then make an already not good boss suddenly also garbage BS hard. All in all the hack is definitely a lot better than I was expecting what with having a lot of very difficult but very satisfying levels, even if sometimes that second part could drop away into just the game trying way too hard to be, well, too hard. I would echo FP's hopes that we can someday get a hack with similar creativity that is not trying to be "for experts only." Hope y'all can find a way to cover the Lost World stuff because I am definitely curious how this hack would handle stuff like challenge levels, but if it really does take just flat out going back and doing every bonus then I would get why it would be a no.

They do have enough coins to do what they did for Lost Levels and just abuse savestates to see the Lost World levels. That's very much on them if they want to do it, but it's basically the best of all worlds in that you don't have to muck around with poorly documented savefile editing, you don't have to go back and do the bonuses, and perhaps best of all, you don't have to go the second round with an undoubtedly truly awful DKC2 K. Rool remaster.

Maybe we weren't clear earlier, going to Klubba literally does not work. He kicks you out with no options and the only thing that gets you in (we think) is clearing all the actual bonus rooms because 99 Kremkoins doesn't do it.

Is it possible that the Lost World simply wasn't modified as part of the hack? Maybe the hacker just changed Klubba to kick you out because they didn't want to make the extra levels, or there was an issue with the editor, or something.

so, uh, the insanely precise platforming you've expected from this game, and also that. i supposed you could bullshit up game genie codes to straight drop you in the levels, but, nah gently caress that

Craig K posted:mildly concerned even the vooid speedrun doesn't touch the lost world V0oid's speedrun at GDQ was done on an older version of the hack that hadn't yet finished the Lost World. The version we're playing came out after that, and includes a finished Lost World.

So because I was morbidly curious, and some others might be too... DKC2 Unveiled patch can be found here: http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2430 https://www.mediafire.com/file/0ljibmymthwqw9l/DKC2_Unveiled_EN.zip/file Since the readme isn't entirely clear: This needs to be applied to a headerless revision 0 ROM, SHA1 of 3ec2035962918b5523d8b4745406f46f2a739b8d. A vanilla complete save file works just fine for accessing the Lost World, so grab https://www.zophar.net/savestates/snes/donkey-kong-country-2.html and go. It's certainly a thing.

I was pushing for us to do it. I was enthusiastic about the idea! We even had plans to try and tag-team the levels, but like... this is too much. It's the hardest content already locked behind full completion of every single other hard level, and it shows. So, with that, thanks for watching DKC Unveiled I suppose!

"It can't possibly be any worse" "Is this a loving normal level? Did we finally find-" Words spoken before disaster While there's definitely a design space to be explored in "the run button doesn't work", it's so obviously going to be kind of miserable even if the level design is perfect. Some gimmicks are just better left unused.

In trying to figure out how to make things get even harder the romhacker went in the worst direction of terrible gimmicks and just breaking the games rules. It is really unfortunate to see just things devolve into pure unfun bullshit in the name of being difficult after the rest of the game could at times show some really good kaizo design. Just jesus these levels look like pure trash. Just all of the lost world seems to be levels that are actively going against what the game does well and are trying instead to be difficult by making you do things the game is bad at. Thank you for showing off as much as you did of the Lost World. A shame the game had to end this way but at least it is over.

For the record, Forge Gorge is probably (?) okay considering it seemed to just be a platforming level with the K. Rool cannonballs as your primary obstacle. Crimson Cavern might have also been okay if I wasn't in the entirely wrong headspace to be trying new Kaizo levels, like FP said it had a clear goal and was designed around you moving fairly quickly, the ice physics just didn't play nice at the time. But seriously though, Paradox Paradise. Why?

Crimson Cavern genuinely looked like it could've been fun but I don't blame you for being angry at the time and not wanting to give it more chances. The rest looked awful, and honestly, out of place considering most stuff in this hack was bullshit but it seemed like the kind of bullshit that could be fun for the right person. This just went overboard.

Kongpendium looked like a puzzle level where the puzzle was figuring out how to work your way around a mix of regular and invincible enemies, and at least to its credit you could easily tell which enemies were just going to hurt you. So maybe it's okay?

drat, that was bad. Two playable levels, one hampered one, and two really bad ideas; what a way to go out. Thanks for suffering for us anyway, that's the sort of thing you have to see to believe. I could see one, ONE use of reversed controls for a section that isn't miserable and even if you could make a whole level out of it, it sure wouldn't be Paradox Panic. it'd be a vertical jumping section with the reversing barrels on either side of the climb so you only have to jump and go right, salt with enemies to taste

Wow, that's total poo poo. Those levels are either lovely precise platforming, terrible control gimmicks, and/or rife with janky hitboxes. Kind of feels like the hacker ran out of steam.

I saw a run of Kongpendium. I think that was maybe 10% of the level you got through? You go through every single biome in that one level, and it is all that level of tedious Kaizo bullshit.

Rumble Chaos Crashdown has been remade. It is now Rumble Chaos: The Crashdown. Since I lost patience for the grind the old randomizer pretty much forces on all seeds but especially the one I rolled for this thread, it’s time to check things out from the beginning.”README.txt” posted:WINDOWS: Something I didn't realize because I went in 100% blind is that when the new randomizer isn't joking around when it gets chaotic. The pregenerated units the game hands you can have ridiculous levels and JP, but everything can also cost a million and a half JP points. Furthermore, ”abyssonym” posted:The enemies on the first few maps have fixed levels, to prevent softlocks...after Sweegy [Woods] they should be randomized the same level range as your units Given one of the units I got on my first test seed was a Level 75 Rofel (complete with learnable Mighty Sword skills) but Ramza started off at level one with nothing unlocked, this means I am in for a bad time at Windmill Shed. There are some things in this randomizer that I find really neat and would like to show off, but given how little patience I have for grinding I don't know if this is the seed I'll be doing the after action report on.

A lot of the stages so far seem to overstay their welcome. Some good gimmick ideas here and there but a lot of stuff to wade through to get through to it. Still, the fact that the maker decided to make the design decisions to neuter the quick laser section shows that they should have known to completely gut it and made a better product in the end.
